Now this week was seriously the worst week i ever had since i started working on Beasts of Prey. First there was a memory leak in the server haunting us, then the dinosaurs went absolutely nuts and to tip it off the patch yesterday broke the game. What was supposed to be a smooth patch that allowed me to relax at least a day or two turned into daily 16 hours shifts and patching the hell out of the game. On top of that the dinosaur god decided to shut-down the internet-connection and threw a huge Storm on the town where i'm living in. Now whoever was cutting the internet here and is responsible for this awful weather and everything else i can currently blame someone for let me tell you : You won't stop me from making this a nice little survival game that people enjoy to play. So here we go, solved this annoying memory leak, rewrote the tribe system and squeezed out more FPS of the client and added a bunch of features while my web-browser kept telling me "Server not found, keep working!". I also hired another 3D Artist, let's name him Vlad, to supply us within the next 6 months with 3-4 more dinosaur models that our community can choose - starting with the Ankyosaurus which is just missing animations at this point. A more detailed announcement will be made next days on our forums. The Tribe System is now fully Steam-Integrated. To play with your friends simply create a group in Steam, invite everyone and choose the group as Tribe in-game. Quite simple, yet powerfull because at any point you can switch groups and everything you build will be available for the tribe you currently have selected. To build structures that are not shared with your tribe simply select "Solo (No Tribe)" and the structure can only be used by you. On a personal note i'd like to apologize to all the new players who purchased the game during the last week, i feel ashamed that the game went on sale and then i messed it up a few days later with the worst patch ever - so again, i'm very for that and learned my lesson. Both servers have been patched to the latest version and appear to be running nice and smoothly now. Good night, everyone! Patch Changes : - Fixed dinosaur spinning when attacking. - Dinosaur packs no longer walk in a straight line. - Fixed bed spawns. - Prepared client/server network for new tribe system based on SteamFriends/Groups. - Added menu option to select your tribe at the main screen. To create a Tribe simply create a new Steam Group and invite your friends. Existing Steam Groups can be chosen in-game. - When building, everything constructed is now constructed with your current selected Tribe, which means access is granted to all members to doors and chests excluding the metal safe. - You can switch to "Solo" to construct structures only accessible to you, this gives you full-control who will have access to your structures. - Fixed several bugs in the main screen menu. - Properly aligned the main menu to the screen. - Optimized performance again by tweaking some graphics settings. - Fixed a serious server bug that stopped it from saving structures and inventory. - Fixed a memory leak that was haunting the game for the last week. - Tribe members now show up on the compass as a green dot. - Tribe members now appear with a green hud instead of the default white one. - Capture System is back! You can now capture the flag again if it's not yours. - Removed Login System, instead we are using your Steam Name. - You no longer need an internet connection to play the game. - Due to the changes all servers have received structure wipe.
